Colorado or Front Range Gladiator owners

[GMITCH]

Will do. But the way it looks tonight, I probably need to be home this weekend. I’m really sorry to bail. It’s not like me.

I hope she starts to feel better. It's all good, maybe we can find a different day.

Hello, from Colorado ( Centennial/Aurora area) New Gladiator owner. Loving the truck so far. Pretty new to the off road world. Wondering if there is anyone around that would like to take a day trip to some nice trails so I could learn and test my new truck out. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, or how to find meet up.

Hi all… I found the Colorado thread. I bought mine in December and I’m liking it so far.

We split time between Centennial and South Fork.

Welcome both of you! I'm in Arvada area and would love to get out there but life handed me my first child a month ago so wont be getting out on the dirt for some time. I would highly recommend Offroad Trails in Colorado (trailsoffroad.com) It shows you alot of trails, their ratings, peoples comments/pictures. Alot of super useful info on each trail too. There is a paid option there too but the free one offers plenty.

I appreciate it. I’m not one to cancel. I feel bad about the short notice. Thanks for understanding.

Congratulations! Let me know if you want any hints about good car seats in the gladiator. Been there. Am still there.

Cheers! We currently have the Doona and picked up an extra docking station. Works perfectly! When we upgrade to a legit car seat i may need to pick your brain. We were gifted one but its still in the box haha. First time dad so i went to the local FD station and had them walk me through it.

Excuse the mess, all that USED to be stored under the seat that's now been assigned to the car seat.

Any time. My first hint is to temporarily remove the under seat storage bin. It’s just a few bolts. That way you can put things under the seat and reach under to get them without removing a car seat. Mine was in a closet until the glorious day that boosters became a thing. That dock setup looks nicer than the ones we had. At least you can likely use the clips. Once you start needing the over seat anchor for front facing, in like 4 years. you’ll not enjoy the anchor location in the Jeep. But stay strong. It’ll go fast. Really fast.

Any time. I couldn’t stand to lose the storage space, or need to remove a seat to get to it. It worked quite well for years. I only got to put it back last summer.

I don’t know the written rules, but my tires stick out more than 2” past the flares, I’m lifted a lot, have modified my front bumper a ton, have a hitch skid installed 365 unless towing, etc. I have two amber markers in the front that are on all the time, but nothing but Oem led in the rear. I’ve never been hassled here or in UT.

That guy is in VA. It's a law out there. Colorado has no such law, afaik.
